  • Iran's Atomic Energy Chief: We have the upper hand in negotiations

Mohammad Eslami, the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) said on Wednesday that his country has the upper hand in the negotiation process.

According to Fars News Agency reports, during the process of negotiations on the Iranian nuclear issue during the past few months Eslami revealed that his country "has the upper hand in this process, and if Iran did not have the elements of power, the other parties would not have easily accepted to negotiate with us."

Mohammad Eslami stressed that Iran's enemies have always "sought to obstruct its nuclear program, and recent months have revealed many facts about these enemies' attempts to prevent Iran from gaining progress in the field of nuclear technology," adding that, "however, the enemies realized that Iran has always taken the initiative and has the elements of power, which forced them to sit at the negotiating table with us."

He then pointed out that his country's enemies have resorted over recent years to many techniques, foremost of which is the threat and assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists, with the aim of preventing the country's nuclear progress.

Last Wednesday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani announced that Iran has received the United States' response to its proposals through the European Union's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell.

"We have started a careful review and evaluation of the US response, and the Islamic Republic will announce its views after looking into it," Kanaani said.

US and Israeli reports indicate the possibility of signing the nuclear agreement between Washington and Tehran within a few days or weeks.

The EU put forward on August 8 what it called a final text to restore the landmark 2015 agreement that was trashed by former US president Donald Trump.

President Joe Biden took office with the goal of restoring the agreement, believing it was the best way to constrain Iran's nuclear program and that Trump's withdrawal had done nothing but lead Tehran to accelerate its nuclear work.

The new proposal would see Iran get sanctions relief and be able to sell its oil again in return for severe limits on its nuclear program.
